This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Competence of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children addresses the development, assessment, and promotion of social competence in children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH). Most children readily develop social competence through the mutually dependent development of social skills and social relationships. Why then write a book on the social competence of DHH children? Hearing loss, with its resulting communication challenges, has the potential to impede the development of social skills and restrict social relationships. In this volume, Shirin D. Antia and Kathryn H. Kreimeyer highlight multiple strategies that teachers, families, and community members can utilize to promote the social competence of DHH children. The authors approach this topic by first describing the development and expression of social competence in infants, as well as in preschool- and school-age hearing and DHH children. Socially competent children display a flexible repertoire of social behaviors that are appropriately utilized in varying social situations and which further children's social goals. Since social competence develops initially through interactions between infants and their caretakers, a primary consideration for children with hearing loss is that the infant and caretaker share a common communication approach to facilitate early interaction. As infants become preschool age, opportunities for interactions with other children increase and social interactions revolve around play. The development of interactive and of pretend play requires children to communicate with one another to assume roles, share fantasies, and solve social conflicts. DHH children must develop communication skills to participate in interactive play, and hearing children may need guidance to successfully engage with DHH peers. For school-age children, the importance of peer acceptance increases; DHH children need supportive situations both within and outside of school to interact with peers, develop friendships, and refine the social behaviors that promote peer acceptance. The authors present a variety of practical ways to assess the social competence of DHH children. They emphasize the role of assessment in identifying social strengths and needs to establish a basis for any necessary intervention. They then present ways to promote social competence, with a separate focus on strategies appropriate for young DHH children and for school-age DHH children. For both age groups, the authors address the role of families, professionals, schools, and communities in helping children develop the skills needed to become socially competent individuals. This book will be a valuable resource for the parents and families of DHH children, for the general and special educators who teach these children, and for the researchers who describe development and evaluate the effectiveness of strategies to promote the social competence of DHH children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oftentimes a child's deafness can be as disconcerting to the uniformed adult as it is debilitating to the deaf child. Yet parents, students, and teachers sho try to inform themselvs find doing so difficult: the issues are emotional ath too often have been the subject of clashes among professional and lay people. In this comprehensive study, Meadow provides a rational, informed, and balanced approach. Individual chapters survey the central work done on the linguistic, cognitive, social, and psychological effets of profound deafness in children and offer practical discussions with abundant concrete examples. The result is a book that provides a context for understanding research in childhood deafness and ways to apply its findings. Of particular interest to professionals who work with deaf children, the concluding chapter analyzes unresolved matters of policy. These include: oral-only versus oral+visual communication; recommended forms fo visual communication; residential versus day school education; the benefits and liabilities of mainstreaming; the treatment of minority, multiply handicapped, and gifted deaf children; and the role of deaf adults in the socialization of deaf children.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Children with hearing impairments experience particular difficulties in the acquisition of early communication skills and music therapy has been used to help them with language and communication. A 4-year-old hearing-impaired girl, who was integrated in a mainstream preschool and her normally developing classmates, participated in a music intervention program over a period of 26 weeks. This program included the normal elements of music teaching such as singing, playing instruments, moving to music, listening to music, and creating music as well as auditory training and speech and language training. Another hearing impaired child in a comparable preschool served as a control and participated in normal preschool music activities during the intervention period. Both children were assessed on their speech and language skills at prior to the intervention (Time 1) and after it (Time 2). Results indicated that the language scores of both children with hearing impairments were higher at Time 2 than at Time 1. However, the hearing-impaired child who received the music intervention program showed better progress than the other hearing-impaired child. Her teachers demonstrated creativity and showed greater flexibility and adaptability in curriculum planning. Furthermore, the positive outcome helped her parents rebuild their confidence. They were more motivated to share information with teachers and got themselves involved in her learning. The implications of the findings for preschool children with hearing impairments are discussed. ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3554039 Subjects: Preschool music - Instruction and study - China - Hong Kong Hearing impaired children - China - Hong Kong - Education Preschool children - China - Hong Kong - Education
